Last week I posted about sweet Tubby. Tubby and his friends would all make great “Scratch and Dent” cats. We started this program back last year in efforts to find friendly colony cats homes that suited their personalities. These homes usually include the cat as a working member of the family (i.e. pest control for a barn, greenhouse, etc.) We have successfully placed Scratch and Dent cats with families inside and as working cats outside depending on their personality and the safety of the location. Our program has hit a wall at this point. We lack funding and foster homes for these, usually, adult cats who did nothing wrong and deserve a second chance on life. We aren’t sure what it would take to get new fosters and adopters signed up, but we would love to talk about it! If you would like to foster or adopt, please reach out to us. This is the only way we can get these friendly cats off of the streets and out of dangerous situations. If you would like to sponsor a Scratch and Dent kitty for $75 (full price) or any amount you can do so through our CashApp or PayPal directly linked to our TNR team and efforts. Receipts can be emailed for tax purposes!

I’m so hopeful we can find at least a few of the cats below somewhere safe to crash. They were once loved by someone and deserve to feel that love again.

Have you thought about fostering a kitten before? Maybe you’re a little nervous to take that jump? Why not do it with a scared kitten who is wanting to give love so bad, but is a little unsure?!

Meet Widget! Widget is another rescue from the same complex Pepperoni came from. Like Pepperoni he had a sibling. Unfortunately, his poor sibling was snatched up by the two roaming dogs. Their caretaker saw it happened and tried to stop them, but his efforts were futile. Once we knew about this situation we couldn’t leave Widget behind. He was a crafty bo**er and tried his best to outsmart the trap. You can tell who won that game! He’s been in a temporary foster while we evaluated him and waited to see what we could do. He’s already yelling at his foster dad and actually purred today 🥹🥹 He’s still a little shy when you first interact with him, but there is no hissing or aggression at all. He will need someone to give him love and TLC. We can all understand how he is this way due to the trauma he’s experienced in his short life. If you’d be interested in fostering him, please let us know. He will be going to the vet for a full work up next week.

Covered!! Thank you!

Hey guys! We started helping a concerned citizen trap at a new location in Alabater. It’s a smaller group of cats with four adults and two kittens. One of the kittens has injuries on his chest, neck, and leg. After almost two weeks of trying to get her, she was finally trapped! She’s going to our vet tomorrow because the finder can’t afford treatment herself. We got an estimate from our vet for $115 for a regular visit not including any medication she might need. We figure it will cost closer to $150. If you are able to donate to her care you can call the vet’s office or donate through Venmo.

The vet is Alford Avenue and their number is (205) 823-6002. The kitten is named Rotisserie since it took rotisserie chicken to finally trap her. Thank you guys for your support!

The hardest part of colony care and project management is finding friendly cats. These cats have known love and definitely had inside homes at one point. The ones in particular that pull my heart are the older big headed tom cats. So, meet Tubby! Despite the adorable scowl on his face he is the sweetest guy. He is newer to this project so he hasn’t been neutered yet. He will be, so don’t worry! We would love to find Tubby new digs so he doesn’t have to return to this project after being fixed. This is the same project that has two stray dogs killing cats and kittens. We are actively working on a solution to this issue, but it’s complicated. Since becoming involved in this project we have found so many cats like Tubby. Our resources only stretch so far, so finding homes for these friendly strays is becoming more and more difficult. If you or someone you know would be interested in providing a home for Tubby or one of his friends please let us know!

Someone has to take Tubby so I don’t get divorced or kicked out of my house (by my cats)!

I’m SO behind on updates!! So, here is a compilation post of happy news ☺️

🧡 Pepperoni was our little guy with a hurt leg who was dumped at one of our projects with his mom and sibling. His sibling was killed by dogs and he was injured. He went to the vet again this week and we found out his leg is healing nicely! He has another week of crate rest. But, the vet thinks he will be just fine. He’s the sweetest little boy despite it all.

🤎 Stuffed Crust is Pepperoni’s mom. We were able to save her because not one, or two, but three people offered to foster her! She’s been spayed and is resting in her foster home for now. She’s officially been pre-adopted by the sweetest family who has adopted from us before. She will go home next week!

💛 Camila aka Princess Turtle was our fly strike baby abandoned by her mom. She’s nearing three weeks old now and is absolutely thriving. We are all a teensy bit obsessed with this fierce little one.

The days are hot! Cool off with us and some sweet kitties this weekend. Check out the schedule in the post below 🔥

We have a special girl who needs your help finding the purrfect retirement home. Sweet Yvette found her way to a kind woman’s house. This woman had a lot of ferals outside, but Yvette was not one of them. Yvette was incredibly sweet and extremely thin. Her caretaker began feeding her up front because Yvette wasn’t a fan of hanging with the rowdy feral crew. After awhile some things began to click with her caretaker and the puzzle that was Yvette’s past became clear. Yvette had an inside home. In fact, she belonged to the neighbor across the street. We don’t know why they kicked her out and stopped feeding her, but we know that their reason had to be something ridiculous. They didn’t want her anymore. Yvette is a gentle, loving girl. We took her to be spayed and we got even more information on her. She had been spayed already, she was underweight, she was missing a good portion of her teeth, and she is AT LEAST TEN YEARS OLD.

Take a second. Do you have a pet? Can you imagine getting them as a tiny baby, loving them, keeping them safe, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. You make sure they are never lonely or scared. And then they become a senior and you throw them outside. No food, water, or shelter. The only life they knew is gone. And so is their family. Sounds cruel, right? That’s because it is.

Yvette is a little old lady with so much love left to give and life to live. She just craves to be with humans. Anytime she can sneak into her caretakers’ laps outside she does. She comes to them for affection, attention, and now protection. We would love to find this fluffy tabby girl a family who will cherish her like she deserves. Please message us if you think that could be you!

Do you know it’s 101 degrees outside the Haven right now? Do you know how lucky it was that someone was monitoring the cameras and pulled these kittens inside before they had a heat stroke?

This is unacceptable. Kitty Kay Haven is full. We are closed to intake. We have a waitlist of kittens in colonies we want to help, but can’t because lack of quality adopters, fosters, and funds. There’s no excuse for this behavior. And dismissing it by saying at least she didn’t dump them on a dirt road, at least they were in a carrier, at least this and that is also lousy behavior. There are NO excuses. And no justification for this action.

We never want to say no. We always want to help. Taking advantage of a rescue is never the right way to go about things. So, if you know this woman or recognize these kittens please let us know. At this point we want to get their history and help fix their mom/dad if that’s a need so more won’t be dumped in the future.

And do better. I know everyone is stretched and full, so figure out a way to do your part and stop making it a rescue or shelter’s responsibility. You are just as capable of helping as a volunteer run organization is. Thanks.

What’s stopping you from doing TNR? It’s a real question and I’d love to know what’s holding you back.

It’s a real question and I’d love to know what’s holding you back.

Flashback to meeting this girl for the first time! Thanks to everyone for the name suggestions. We decided to call her Edith. Right now, Edith is resting comfortably and really, really enjoying the AC. We are so happy we were able to get her out of the heat!
